Zern's Flea Market Arcade: 25 Cent Rides, Flipper Buttons, Bonus Points, Cleopatra, Jumping Jack, Skee Ball & An Electric Chair

Since coming under new management, the once rather sad and dormant arcade at Zern's Flea Market has had a bit of a rebirth.  While I'm pleased to see the installation of some beautiful vintage pinball machines and the novelty of old style 25 cent rides, I'm a bit confused by the electric chair replica.

Piñatas, Dolls, Ornaments, Produce, Books, Trolls, Diamonds, Elvis, Velvet Unicorns & That Painful, Burning Itch

 

NOTICE: There are some things you should NEVER buy at a "dented can" store in a flea market.

What would a trip to Zern's be without Elvis, trolls or unicorns on velvet?

Just remember... Take care of that painful, burning itch someplace else.

However, if you have a painful, burning itch... You probably caught it here.
